I think a few of you know that I've been planning a web-based miniseries for a while now, set in a "used future" that will visually reference some of our favorite films. Influences include Outland, ALIEN, Silent Running, Blade Runner and even early Red Dwarf. The series will be titled "Last Flight of the Freya 7" and will run for six episodes.

We are going to do a Kickstarter campaign in the very near future, so we built sections of some of the sets to give a feel for how it will look. Here's another shot of the cockpit with a few familiar items:

The Galley also has a few visual references to Aliens (the trays and locker), and Akira (the design on the leather jacket).

While the Freya 7 herself will be an entirely original ship, we are sneaking in a few familiar faces in the background such as this maintenance shuttle:

I'll update this thread as progress continues on this project. I hope folks like it!

Thanks guys! If the fund raising doesn't come through I still get to keep the cockpit set, so that's pretty cool! We're working on the Kickstarter video now and it's looking pretty good. I'll keep folks posted!

This past weekend we did a camera test on some of the props and costumes in one of the locations we'll be shooting in. You guys will no doubt recognize some familiar bits on the jacket

This structure is a leftover from the Cold War and is absolutely beautiful. We were plotting out the action for the scene in the daylight, but the actual filming will be at night so a lot of this detail will only be seen in glimpses as the flashlight pans around the room.

Thanks Joberg! I found the site will driving around with my sons one day. It's nearly walking distance from my house and the owner has been very accomodating. Here's more information on its wartime history:

Southern Maine has a pretty interesting history in relation to the big wars of the last century. Actually even further back come to think of it as some of our forts were built to defend boat lanes against Confederate attacks during the Civil War.

I have been watching this fascinating thread for a while now, and it is about time to say how much I admire this. You put so much love and attention to detail in this enterprise. Cannot wait to see more!

Wow guys, thanks so much for your awesome comments! It really means a lot to me. I'm hoping to have some more goodies to share really soon, especially once we start doing the costume fittings. I'll be happy to see someone besides me in all these photos!
